  • HTC DROID Incredible retail box

    The Motorola DROID is a popular Android device on Verizon Wireless, but may have just been bested by the HTC DROID Incredible with 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 8 megapixel camera, and Sense 2.5 experience. Check out these comparison photos, photos taken with the DROID Incredible and screenshots.

  • Small retail package

    The DROID Incredible box is quite small with a focus on showing off the device with photos of it on the top and bottom.

  • Here is the HTC Incredible

    When you first open up the box you will find the device with a plastic cover on it labeling all the virtual and hardware buttons.

  • Box contents

    There is very little inside the retail package as you can see here. There is just a USB cable, USB A/C adapter, and package of documents.

  • Wow, look at the back of the Incredible

    You can't help but notice the back of the Incredible with the bright red plastic that includes a matching HTC battery.

  • Battery in place, open back

    The entire back of the Incredible is removed to access the battery.

  • Red all over

    I doubt you will ever misplace the battery of this device with the bright red finish.

  • Contoured back cover

    The back panel of the HTC DROID Incredible has three levels as you can see here. "with Google" is also stamped on the lower back.

  • HTC logo and camera

    An HTC logo is embedded in the back with the 8 megapixel camera and dual LED flash lights above and to the left. The opening on the right is for the speaker.

  • Full soft touch back

    The back is covered in black soft touch material and feels great in your hand.

  • Yes, this is a microUSB port

    Even though it has a different look to it, this is a microUSB port for charging and connectivity to your PC/Mac.

  • Volume button

    A + and - appears on the long volume button on the left side.

  • Top of the Incredible

    The 3.5mm headset jack and power button is found on the top of the HTC Incredible.

  • Upper front of the device

    The speaker grill on the front is red with the Verizon label placed below it and above the display.

  • HTC DROID Incredible in hand

    The DROID Incredible feels great in your hand with slightly less width than the Nexus One.

  • New optical joystick

    Rather than using a trackball on the Incredible, HTC replaced it with an optical joystick. You can still press in on the center of it to select an item too.

  • Touch sensitive buttons

    There are four touch sensitive areas below the display for Home, Menu, Back, and Search.

  • DROID Incredible in hand with display on

    The 3.7 inch OLED display looks great in most lighting conditions.

  • HTC high end lineup

    In this view you can see the HTC HD2, DROID Incredible, and Google Nexus One.

  • Back of the HTC devices

    The back of each one shows how they can be a bit distinct even though they are similar.

  • Stacking up the HTC devices

    The DROID Incredible is a bit different than the other two because the microUSB port is on the left rather than on the bottom like the others.

  • Lower side view of the HTC devices

    All three devices are rather thin and do feel great in your hand.

  • Side view of the HTC devices

    The Nexus One and DROID Incredible have about the same height while the HD2 is a bit taller.

  • HTC Incredible photo one

    I took this shot at QWEST Field in Seattle. This football is composed of helmets from all the high schools in Washington State.

  • HTC Incredible photo two

    I took this photo during the Sounders FC game.

  • HTC Incredible photo three

    Another photo taken with the DROID Incredible.

  • Typical Home screen panel

    The HTC DROID Incredible has the HTC Sense 2.5 user interface on board and this is a typical Home screen panel.

  • Leap functionality in HTC Sense 2.5

    A cool new capability is the Leap feature where you can see thumbnails of each of the 7 Home screen panels in your selected Scene.

  • Verizon section of the Android Market

    Rather than load the device up with bloatware, Verizon provides the user with a special section in the Android Market.

  • NFL Mobile on the DROID Incredible

    It was great to see the new NFL Mobile application available on the device.

  • Camera software

    This is a shot of the camera software on the DROID Incredible.

  • Friend Stream application

    Another new piece of software provided by HTC is Friend Stream. The software shows you updates and photos from your Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr networks.

  • Car Home panel

    This interface provides shortcuts to utilities optimized for navigation with the DROID Incredible.
